So I Cried

by Arianna Harrell

SO I CRIED

For all the pain, struggle, and the many drops of tears

SO I CRIED

For all the deep, dark, and cold fears

SO I CRIED

Whether many people are far away and, yes, even near

SO I CRIED

I’m NOT who I say, NOT what I appear

SO I CRIED

Leaving won’t solve anything, so just stay and be here

SO I CRIED

For all the people who have struggled who have no parents to say “my dear”

SO I CRIED

And when I say I cried, I cried for me and I cried for you

SO I CRIED YES SO I CRIED
